3830 Handwritten letter
Only by personally experiencing the turbulent situation in the capital can we understand Ermao's painstaking efforts. At present, many forces in the capital are stepping on steel wires, and no one dares to say that they have an absolute chance of winning!
It is precisely this situation where people are afraid of fighting both sides of the wolf, and it is precisely because many parties do not have the absolute confidence to eat the other party in one bite, so it is obvious that extreme violent methods such as mutiny will be abandoned by people!
It seems that these troops dare not act without any acts, whether they are the Xishan soldiers or the New Imperial Army, including the Hunan Army and other old camps in the capital!
This is how it is to fight. Without full confidence and there are many opponents... the wise are unwilling to promote a large army!
But the more this situation will not break out, the more dangerous it will be. Manshun's fate has reminded Ermao that the enemy is already very crazy, and they will definitely have a cold war if they don't have a hot war!
If you cannot succeed in killing openly, you will definitely choose assassination!
Assassination is sometimes more terrifying than open killing. Today, kill Manshun, will you kill others tomorrow? Will you attack the emperor and the queen mother in the end?
If it really reaches this point, it will not be easy for the head of state to achieve the situation!
Everyone in the flower hall understood Ermao's concerns, but no one dared to answer this. Cai Bixia sighed and shook her head, "Ermao... Don't always say that the situation in the capital is important. In fact, there are countless secret matters related to the life and death of the Chinese people in Nanyang!"
"In the future, when we manage the Central Plains, we always have to hold a few strategic-level weapons in our hands? Is it a piece of food or not, and there are oil resources that will be applied on a large scale..."
"Including electrical and mechanical processing... these are unknown areas that even foreigners are exploring. Who can the head of state entrust to?"
"No matter how chaotic the situation in the capital is, it is at least in a circle that we can understand! How can we find a comparison example in China's thousands of years of power struggle!"
"The head of state is not around, at least Marshal Zeng will be punished for a moment!"
"But who can point out the direction of those new things overseas except for the head of state to take the helm?"
"No need to mention the distance, just talk about the oil dug out of Brunei. The head of state always said that this is a strategic resource for the next five hundred years and the lifeblood of any nation's life and death!"
"But I can't see what it is useful. What else can I do besides being able to do? Of course, it can also be used as a fuel for lighting and heating..."
"But this doesn't raise his status so high, right? But the head of state is so firm!"
"Who knows what's going on? But we all trust the head of state unconditionally. Anyway, I don't understand how important oil is, but since the head of state said it, it must be very important..."
"The head of state is also unable to do anything!"
Alas... Ermao said nothing, bowed his hand and held the secret letter in his arms and turned back!
There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Ermao got up and finished washing, and took a sedan chair to Donghuamen. At this time, it was not dawn, and there was only a trace of whiteness in the east, just like a line.
The streets and alleys were quiet, and the early spring breeze was already a little warm, and it flew into the depths of the alley with dead branches and leaves. Ermao could see the shadows in the deep alley. He knew that the CIA must have made complete preparations in advance last night!
"A secret letter entered the palace, maybe three or four lives last night! This Sijiu City is really a fierce place, hey..."
The sedan chair rushed to Dong'anmen. There were already soldiers from the Imperial Army waiting for a long time. After entering the Forbidden City, Dasixi led a group of eunuchs to escort Ermao to the Yangxin Hall!
After entering the door of nourishing the heart, Zaichun was practicing in the morning. In the past five years, he developed the good habit of getting up early. Emperor Tongzhi, who was staging horses, saw Ermao coming, and immediately stopped his work and got up, took a towel and wiped his sweat.
"What's the situation with Manshun? Is there a way for the British to cure?"
Ermao shook his head, "No! Doctor Buck was helpless and just released a little blood... His suggestion would still ask the Chinese military doctor for craniotomy immediately!"
"He said there was blood stasis in Manshun's brain. It was these blood stasis that made him unconscious! Now in this world, the Chinese military doctors have the best craniotomy surgery skills!"
"Then why don't you ask me now!" Zai Chun said anxiously.
"Don't worry, your Majesty, Manshun will be recuperating in my house during this period! I have sent an emergency call to Naha and the Special Administrative Region and asked them to coordinate the nearest doctor to give Manshun surgery..."
"As for how many days Manshun can survive...it depends on your fate!"
Ermao sighed and said to Zaichun, "Your Majesty, can you enter the hall? Let me talk about it separately... I have important information to report to Your Majesty alone!"
In the eunuch world, only Ermao has this privilege, which was specially approved by Zaichun!
Don’t call yourself a slave, you can call me or a humble minister. In the past 200 years of the Qing Dynasty, Ermao was the only one!
This privilege made the big four Xi and the others so jealous that they were going crazy, but they had no choice!
"General Ermao... Haha... Your Majesty was still handling affairs at midnight last night, so you probably don't know some things yet, right?" said the senior citizen with a happy and complacent voice.
"The thief who tried to kill Manshun was Wang Zhong from Prince Gong's Mansion. His head was cut off and he was sent to the palace!"
"Your Majesty issued an order last night, saying that he would arrange a funeral for all the elderly eunuchs and palace maids in the Forbidden City, and that there would never be any tragic incident of dying from poverty and illness after leaving the palace!"
"Didn't you notice on the way to the palace that many eunuchs and palace maids were excitedly kowtowing to the Yangxin Palace to thank you? What a great deal of good governance..."
This senior high school joy is really interesting. On the surface, it was a reminder to Ermao, but in fact it was still flattering the emperor, and even a little bit of sow discord.
The subtext is, Long lively, you are optimistic. We have been so generous with such a good governance last night, and we have flattered and said good things. These Ermao is indifferent at all!
Isn’t this unfaithful? A villain always keeps such a sinister but smiling!
Ermao didn't have the energy to bicker with him, but just nodded, "Is that true! I already know, thank you for the general manager for giving me some advice... Your Majesty, I really have important things to say if you want to enter the palace!"
He ignored Da Sixi's provocation and discord. This made him so angry that he smoked, but there was no way to do it. The emperor would not be angry!
Seeing that His Majesty and Ermao entered the west side hall of Yangxin Hall, which was diligent in power and respect for the virtuous, Dasixi quickly walked a few steps to go in and serve him, but he didn't expect that he would just hear the little emperor say as soon as he arrived at the door.
"You all went to the yard to wait. I didn't ask you to come in...retreat!"
"Ah...ah..." The big four, who was so embarrassed that their faces flushed, retreated and returned to the yard.
"What do you think of... Let's spread out, no one is allowed to eavesdrop!"
Ermao confirmed that there was no one around and that the people outside could not hear them talking, so he took out a secret letter and held it in front of Zaichun.
"Your Majesty... the Head of State wrote a secret letter... Please burn it as soon as possible after reading it!"
